In this hip-hop style resetting of the famous story, Maui is a schoolboy who lives with this mother and four older brothers in a city where the day is never long enough to things done. Maui seizes the moment: Mum, I’m gonna catch that Sun for you. That Sun who’s always on the run.

After weaving a flax net, the brothers drive to the pit where the Sun lives, and make their play to slow the day.

This popular book in English and Maori brings Maui into the 21st century in a colourful retelling, now in a gorgeous paperback.
